New to NodeXL, template does not display the graph pane

Hi, I am using nodexl for the first time, and cannot see the chart pane at all (only the excel cells). I´ve read the various discussions about graph panes having size problems but in my case I do no see any pane at all (not even the document actions
line) at all so I do not know where to point the mouse to drag it outside the excel window. Can anyone help me? Thanks a lot

Dear Tony, thanks for answering me so quickly. I repeated the whole procedure. There is no NodeXL tab in the Excel ribbon. Actually, the installation was sucessful, but when I start the NodeXL from the All Programs as you describe above I
get the following error message: Invalid URI: the hostname could not be analysed (the error details refer to Microsoft Visual Studio Tools Applications Deployment etc.) I am using Windows7 on Parallels on a MacbookPro. Thanks for any further advice you can
give me, simonettta

Please try the following suggestion, which is from another Parallels/NodeXL user:

"...I finally got it working on my parallels installation. ...I disabled "Share Mac OS X folders with Windows" in the Virtual Machine -> Configuration -> Shared Folders, then install NodeXL, it seems to work fine. I was even
able to enable Shared folders after I had installed NodeXL and I can still access it. So I think you were right the ".psf" is confusing the install somehow."
